razzamatazz #FoundPoem

Sometimes I love living in this little town, and other times…. At least this week’s caller to our weekly newspaper’s phone line is from a different little town, where he was an official. Yes. And at least he has the courage of his convictions and identifies himself on the anonymous call-in line, which most people don’t. So I give him props for that.

This is Alvin (Brown)
calling in from Palmyra.
I’ve been watching
all the news and
listening to all. . .this. . . . razzamatazz
about these illegal aliens.
There’s too many of them
coming in our country,
and I want to know
when our elected officials
are going to do
something about it.
It is running the country down.
We can’t consume all these people.

He’s right, you know. Me — one, two illegal aliens at the most, and I’m full.

I know it isn’t funny, but sometimes I laugh to keep from going berserk.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

How do I confirm I’m not a spammer or haven’t recently eaten Spam brought into the country & prepared by an illegal alien? And why do these Spam eating aliens — the illegal ones — even bother to truck that stuff across the galaxy? It doesn’t go well with Tang. Better they should tour the wineries and search out a good moscato to go with their illegal Spam. But back to my original question: How do I confirm I’m not a spammer?

I don’t know, G! Click in a checkbox? I’ll have to log out of my admin page and put on a false mustache and visit the site pretending to be someone else, to see what the deal is. Meanwhile, I’ve whitelisted you. Because: you.Marian Allen would love to share..razzamatazz #FoundPoem

I have to limit myself to just one? That doesn’t seem fair. I don’t write about them because they aren’t in my audience and their audience refuses to listen to reason.Dan would love to share..My Father’s Plan

You can’t steal my prompts, Alicia, because they’re yours for the taking. 🙂 I write the post first, then make up a prompt based on it for other people to play with. 🙂 Here’s hoping your pressure recedes long enough for you to play!Marian Allen would love to share..LONNIE, ME AND THE HOUND OF HELL

Welcome to my site!

I've been a writer since I could think, and a cook since I was in middle school. I'm also an inveterate this-and-thatter. So this blog, which is supposed to be professional, kind of isn't. I blog about anything I damn well please. Oh--and food. Don't forget the food.
